The Queen's State of Kieta is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 37.581 billion Kietans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 19.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Kietan economy, worth a remarkable 1,253 trillion betales a year, is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,354 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

All tariffs have been abolished, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, gambling is outlawed, and the government is avowedly atheist. Crime is moderate. Kieta's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kieta is ranked 148,031^st in the world and 199^th in Ancient Lands for Safest, scoring 60.77 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
